Debugging Procedure in BW

Question

What is the debugging Procedure in BW

Answer 1

HI
In 3.5 you can debug routines in the below way.
1. Load data to the target
2. Then open the update rules -> Extras -> Display Activated Program
3. select the lines where you want to debug. and set a break point.
4. go to manage -> monitor of your request -> details -> processing 
5. select the data package and right click -> simulate update.
6. it will ask you select the records for which you want to debug.. or you can debug for all the records also.
In Bi 7.0
There are two ways.
1. Open the transformation and go to the generated program.
2. Set the break points.
3. Open your DTP and in the execution tab set the processing to "Serially in dialog box (Debugging)"
4. Execute the DTP. It will take you to the debugger .
This way you can debug in the same session only. If you want to debug in new session then you have to set the break points again.
The other way is as follows.
1. Go to your code.
2. Hard code "break-points" in the code.
3. Run your DTP.
4. In the monitor tab click on Debugging and Pass the selections for which you want to debug the routine.
The benefit of this approach is you can debug routine any time and you can give the selections.But dont forget to remove the break points (Hard coded) before transport.
Hope this will help .
